I have read many posts about fills. I need another one, soon, but I just had one. I need more of a fill.

I got banded July 30, 2012. I had a fill yesterday, my first since February. I had the fill because I asked for it because I have been eating too much food, I felt. My doctor goes slow. I have had 4 fills for a total of either 2.2 or 2.4 cc. I am fine with this. You just have to learn to eat less food and more slowly. Also after a fill I am on liquids for 3 days, mushy for 3 days and then back to solids. I know your doctor is different than mine but this works for me. Also being on this post fill diet you get a great weight loss. Since yesterday I am down a few pounds. Maybe by Monday I will be in the 180's!!!!!!

My doctor did take out all the Fluid yesterday to make sure his records and my total fill were the same and they were!! He said his colleague does put in more fluid. I could have had more but then you read about over fills and then having to go back to get unfilled.

I guess people just have to find, after all these years, me included, a different hobby besides food, cooking and eating out. My whole married life (almost 43 years) has been centered around restaurants and big family dinners.

I would rather go slow also. I need to have the will power also and not rely totally on my band. I go about once a year for a fill but so far I am good with 3cc's. It is just no real connection with doctors which makes it hard for everyone. Here is to 180 this week for you. <3
